Vote! Canada Election 2008

Monday, October 6th is the last advance voting day. Otherwise, your last chance to vote is election day, Tuesday, October 14th.

By now, you should have received a voter information card (if you're on the voter registration list or gave the Canada Revenue Agency permission to share your residence information with Elections Canada). You don't have to bring this card with you to vote, but it is adviseable -- the poll no. printed on the card helps those working at the polling station to direct you to the proper table.

If you haven't received a voter information card, or the one you received is addressed to someone else or contains errors, call the local (Brampton) Elections Canada office at 1-866-236-8618.

Don't forget your ID. (If you don't have an acceptable piece of primary ID, e.g., driver's licence, there are some alternatives.)

For Lakelands Village residents, you may have received misinformation from your local candidate(s) (e.g., automated phone message) about where your advance polling stations is. Refer to your voter information card. (In the worst case, if you show up at the wrong place, they'll tell you where you should go.)

If you want another incentive to vote, many of the advance polling stations are at community centers. It's a good opportunity to also check out your local CCs: facilities, programs, and upcoming events, especially family activities. For example, there will be grand re-opening celebration for the renovated swimming pool on October 18th, at the Century Gardens Recreation Complex.
